But again the appeal judiciary stated that it was only because catkin reacted and changed his position that the arm didn't go out of 'normal range'.

You put your arm where Atkins was and then think that there is someone twisting it - normal range of motion or not it could injure you.

It was a clear bit of fowl play
that nobody seem to question when given a ban. well apart from Saints that is. The way it has subsequently been handled by the RFL is an absolute farce. For example there's no actual ruling, what happened did it get downgraded to a grade A, did the whole thing get thrown out because the appeal was flawed, I don't know why Saints fans are getting al uppity people are having a go at the RFL not Saints.


It was a chicken wing tackle. Naturally.

The verdict was he wasn't guilty of the charge he was faced with, which is why the entire ban got overturned


So a 2 match ban just got wiped out to 0 because a third opinion ruled that the opinion of the ref, video ref, MRP and another appeal panel was all incorrect.

You don't think that's incompetence by the RFL?

that's the thing isn't it - they have talked about player welfare all year then let Knowles off on a 'technicality'

They've set a precedent which I'm sure will be used next year when a similar ban occurs.

The only reason they look up to you is because they chose to kneel.

Actually, it was the first appeal panel that ruled that the evidence saints presented was correct. They just decided to uphold the ban anyway for some reason. The second appeal panel was like actually if you accept the evidence then you can't uphold the ban.

I don't give a toss about the opinion of the original MRP, they've been getting everything wrong all season. They're poop

No, the penalty and yellow card was fair, and all professional fouls should be punished with such ;)

That said, I'm fairly sure the whole disciplinary system will change in the off season. It simply has to. This whole season has been a farce

What I certainly don't want to see is multiple people being dished out suspensions every week

Anyway, should be a cracker on Saturday! Even more so now with all this angst in the air. I expect the atmosphere to be electric.

I think we should win, but I'll never not have my rectum twitching with playing Leeds at OT. Hope we can put those demons to bed.
